ABA Required Disclosure—ABA Standard
509Standard 509(b)
of the ABA Standards for the Approval of Law Schools requires a law school to
publicly disclose on its website information in the following categories:

South Texas College of
Law offers conditional scholarships to admitted students based on a
combination of a student's score on the Law School Admission Test and
undergraduate grade point average. To maintain these scholarships,
students must achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. For this
purpose, a student's cumulative GPA is measured after the student's second
long semester and subsequently at the conclusion of each spring semester.

Students who began their
studies at South Texas before the fall 2011 semester were subject to a
mandatory grading curve in first-year required courses that no longer applies
to entering students. Students who began their studies in the fall 2011
and subsequent semesters are subject to a revised mandatory grading curve in
first-year required courses. Based on recent class rankings under the
revised grading curve, a first-year student with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 has
ranked in the top 50% of the class.

The following table summarizes the
number of conditional scholarships awarded to students in recent entering
classes and the number of students whose conditional scholarships have been
reduced or eliminated. Students who voluntarily withdrew during their
first year of law school without receiving grades are not included in these
figures.

South Texas also awards
scholarships to continuing students. One such scholarship, the Academic
Merit Scholarship, is awarded based on the student's law school cumulative
GPA and level of financial need. During 2012-2013, South Texas awarded
more than $450,000 to continuing students in Academic Merit
Scholarships. A student with a conditional scholarship receives the
higher of their conditional scholarship or the Academic Merit scholarship for
which they are eligible. In addition, South Texas awards specific
scholarships to students based on criteria such as academic merit, status as
a veteran, or participation in student organizations and activities.
During 2012-2013, South Texas students received more than $600,000 in the
form of these specific scholarships.
